the respective commanding officers ; but their
charges for such inspections must be paid by
the respective contractors, who must likewise

REPORT OF THE GRAND Jurv.—The (Ira: .d
Jury of lia - uphin county, previous to being dis
misstd for the term by the Court yesterday
evening, submitted their usual report, which
was read as follows :
To the Honorable Judges of the Courts of Dauphin
county :
The Grand Inquest at August sessions re
'
spectfulfy report'.
That they!have discharged the duties devolved
upon them with as much care as they could ;
and have endeavored to send down for trial
only such cases as seemed to them of sufficient
importance to be investigated in Court.
They visited the prison and found it to be
crowded with inmat, s. The large number of
prisoners now confined there, makes it impos
aible to carry out the system f solitary confine
ment ; and we think some means should be
adopted to remove this objection. We would
suggest the propriety of this Court sending to
the Eastern Penitentiary all convicts who shall
be sentenced to labor for more than six months.
From our inquiries into this matter, we are of
the opinion that this course would be best for
prisoners and economical to the county. We
are glad to bear testimony to the kindness and
care of the keeper and matron to the comfort
and health of the prisoners under their charge.
They have also examined the new Court
House, and have no hesitation in saying that it
is well adapted for the purposes for which it
was designed. It is a commodious and sub
stantial edifice, reflecting credit upon the lib
erality of our citizens, as well as upon the skill
and taste of the architects. We regard it as an
ornament to the county, to which every citizen
can point with pardonable pride. The materi
als of which it is constructed are of the best ;
the arrangements of the various rooms and of
fices are convenient; while the comfort of all
who may have business to transact within it
has been properly cared for.
It is hardly necessary to call attention to the
condition of our country. It is distracted with
internal strife. Civil war is sundering many
ties that were deemed sacred, and has aimed a
deadly blow at that Constitution under which
we as a people have prospered at home and
commanded respect abroad. In a contest like
this there can be no neutrals. He who is not
for us must be against us. The plain duty of
every loyal citizen is to yield cordial, hearty and
sincere support to that administration called to
preside over us in the present fearful crisis.
The man who falters in the honest discharge of
this duty, fails in one of the most sol
emn obligations ever imposed upon him
Politics should not enter into it party
cries should not be sounded. When a com
mon danger threatens, all bickerings of a per
sonal or political character should be for
gotten and a united front presented to the
common foe. We deplore the disposition dis
played yy_ sure in. our midst to,forvetthiAnlain.
standing prominently before this community,
have prostituted that position by attempting
to prevent the true object of the war, and to
damp the ardor of the people. For some time
back the newspapers published at Harrisburg
have contained' articles of an incendiary nature
The tendency of these articles was to poison
the public mind. In our opinion this is wrong
—wrong at any time, and especially so at the
present juncture of affairs. Whilst we have
not the slightest desire to interfere with the
freedom of the press, yet we think that that
freedom: should be exercised within the bounds
of propriety. It is not safe to the true interests
of the community to permit any newspaper to
spread doctrines add sentiments calculated to
create di: affection to the government. To al
low such a thing to be done with impunity is
to give aid and comfort, in a most mai erial
sense, to the enemy. The principle of toleration
does not authorize, much less require, so wide a
departure from the instincts of self-preservation.
But believing as we do that the articles to
which we refer, were published through indis
cretion rather than design, we trust that the
journals will exercise hereafter that degree of
caution that the exigency of the times demands.

It is extremely difficult to obtain reliable in
telligence respecting the results of the picket
encounters on the other side of the river, but
there seems to be truth in reports that several
of our troops were killed and others wounded
along our lines yesterday and last night.
The War Department has just issued the fol
lowing order : "By the 67th article of the
act of Congress, entitled an act for establish-

April 10th, 1806, holding, corres i ondence with
or giving intelligence the enemy, either direct
ly or indirectly, is made punishable by death
or such other punishment as shall be ordered
by a sentence of a court martial."
Public safety required the strict enforcement
of this article. It is therefore ordered that all
correspondence and communication, verbally or
by 'writing, priting or telegraphing, respecting
the operations of the army' or military move
ments, on land or water, or respecting the
troops, camps, arsenals, entrenchments or
military affairs, within the same mili
tary districts in which intelligence shall
be directly or indirectly given to the
enemy without the authority and sanction of
the General in command, be and the same are
absolutely prohibited, :ind from and after the
date of this order, persons violating the same
will be proceeded against under fifty-seventh
article of war.
Another order provides that the commission
ed officers of all volunteer and militia organiza
tions, no matter whether established under the
authority of a State or the United States, will
be regarded as having been commissioned on
the day when mustered into the service of the
United States, and will take their respective
grades and be entitled to pay, and be obeyed
and respected in their several positions from
that date.
Hereafter no minors will be mustered into
the service of the United States as volunterss
without the consent of their parents or guardians.
Capt. Gurdin, chaplin of the Virginia Sevepth
infantry, having given proof of disloyalty is
dismissed from the service of the United States
to take effect immediately.
The Post Office Department having become
possessed of authentic information that the
mails have been repeatedly violated, and can
not be carried safely in that part of Kentucky
earned herein. It is ordered that the Post
Offices at Hickman, Columbus and Paducah,
Ky., and all the other Post Offices and post
routes in Kentucky west of the Tennessee
river be discontinued, excepting as follows :
Route No. 965 from Russellville via Cadiz and
'Hayfield is continued as far as Millburn, and
all the post offices on that route excepting Au
rora are continued; also, route No. 8,694, from
Eddeville to Olive, and the post offices therein
are continued. The special supply is con
tinued.

The statement that news has been received
indicating a certain and speedy recognition of
the Confederate States by England is unfound
ed. On the contrary, the indications are that
all the European Governments intend to con
tinue to respect the blockade and to await th•
result of the contest.
The President has recognized Robert Barth
as Vice Consul of Prussia at St. Louis.
A messenger from the Virginia side this morn
ing states that our picket forces advanced to
Bailey's Cross Roads, yesterday, and drove
those of the rebels a mile and a half beyond
where it is said the latter have taken possession
of a commanding eminence and are throwing
up entrenchments. There was much firing dur
ing the day, but without fatal results. The in
habitants generally, of that section, have re
moved elsewhere, some of them to this city.
A dash of the rebel cavalry, it is reported by
the messenger, was made at what they sup
posed to be a deserted cannon, after about
twelve rounds had been fired at it from their
howitzers. On a near approach, howev..r, they
discovered it to be a sham. Some of the Michi
ganders had deceived the enemy for sport, by
mounting a stove pipe on an old pair of wheels.
Daniel Knipple, of Second Michigan regi
ment, was killed by the accidental discharge of
a gun in the hands of a comrade.
There is undoubtedly a prospect that the
rebels will attack our lines on the other side of
the river
They are crowding closely in strong force,
and their occupation of Bailey's Cross Roads is
regarded as good strategy, as it is but four
miles distant from Springfield Station, on the
Alexandria and Manas,,as Railroad•
ARREST OF THE PRO vRIETOR OF BERK
LEY SPRINGS, VA., BY TEE SECES
SIONISTS.
A private letter says the secessionists of Vir
ginia have arrested Colonel Strother, the well
known proprietor of Berkley Springs, and car
ried him prisoner to Richmond. He is quite
aged, but being suspected of loyalty to the
Government, incurred the displeasure of his
secession neighbors.
